Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of paroxysmal dyskinesias.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 5 patients suffering from paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis(PKC) and 2 patients with paroxysmal persistent exercise-induced dystonia(PED).Results The episodes of all cases of PKC were induced by sudden movements.3 cases showed rigidty and hypertonia.3 cases presented with twist of limbs and dystonia.2 PED cases were induced by persistent movement,manifested involuntary movements of limbs,and the duration of the attack usually last seconds to minutes.5 patients showed epileptic discharges in EEG or AEEG.2 patients had abnormal findings of brain CT or MRI.4 PKC cases responded well to carbamazepine and 1 PED patients to large dose of valproate sodium.Conclusions Paroxysmal dyskinesias are usually induced by sudden movement and present paroxysmal extrapyramidal symptoms.Most of the patients show epileptic discharges in EEG and responded well to antiepileptic drugs.This implies the underlying relationship of pathogenesis between paroxysmal dyskinesia and epilepsy.

Objective: To determine whether paroxetine would be effective in the treatment of patients with chronic insomnia and to compare efficacy of paroxetine and estazolam on chronic insomnia. Methods: 74 patients with chronic insomnia were divided into 2 groups, receiving treatments of paroxetine and estazolam respectively. All of the subjects were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep diary. Results: 1. On the eighth day of treatment, estazolam group showed improvement, all the indexes of sleep were better than those before treatment and those of paroxetine group; 2. On the fifteenth day of treatment, paroxetine group showed improvement, all the indexes of sleep were better than those before treatment and those of estazolam group, while the indexes of the estazolam group returned to pre-treatment level. 3. At the end of treatments and 3 months' follow up, paroxetine group still showed better effect in sleep indexes than estazolam group and the pre-treatment level. Conclusion: paroxetine is effective in the treatment of chronic insomnia and shows long-term effect.

Objective To investigate the changes and the clinical significance of serum concentration of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas ligand (FasL) in the elderly. Methods Fifty elderly subjects and forty-seven adults were recruited. Serum concentration of sFas and EasL were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . Psychosocial stress and coping styles were also evaluated. Results The sFas level of the elderly was significantly higher than that in control group,whereas the EasL level was decreased with ageing (P<0.01). A positive correlation between sFas level and psychosocial stress, and a negative correlation between sFas level and positive coping were also found (all P<0. 05). Conclusions Age-related changes occur in serum sEas and EasL levels.The interaction of sFas/FasL system with psychosocial stress and coping styles seems to play important roles in immunosenescence. Our results also suggest that during aging a subtle balance between sFas and FasL could exist.

Objective To analyze the anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods A retrospective analysis of anticoagulant therapy situation in 926 patients with atrial fibrillation was conducted,in order to sum up experience and improve the understanding of atrial fibrillation.Results In 926 patients with atrial fibrillation,there were no anticoagulant therapy in 675 patients,accounting for 72.89%,while only 251 cases received the treatment of anticoagulation,accounting for 27.11%.Only 66 patients aged>75 years were treated with anticoagulant therapy,accounting for 33.17%.The patients with coronary heart disease,in 17.60% and with anticoagulation treatment,the patients with diabetes in 28.37% and received anticoagulation therapy,28.32% patients with anticoagulation therapy in patients with hypertension,30.77% patients with cardiac insufficiency with anticoagulant therapy.Choice of treatment of aged>75,hypertension,coronary heart disease,clinical treatment strategies and patients were the main factors that affected the use of warfarin,but only>75 years of age,coronary heart disease,choice of treatment factors with statistical significance of three factors(OR=7.02,12.73,4.79,all P<0.05).675 cases without anticoagulant therapy in 101 patients with non warfarin treatment indications without the use of warfarin anticoagulation treatment,accounted for 14.96%.In addition,there were 574 AF patients with warfarin treatment indications and treatment with warfarin,analysis of its causes:63 cases had anticoagulant contraindications,172 cases for the doctor too much about bleeding complications,440 patients were not in accordance with the requirements of the detection of INR.Conclusion The positive effect of warfarin in prevention of ischemic stroke,but in basic hospital application of warfarin anticoagulation in patients with severe AF deficiency,should raise the awareness of risk of grassroots medical staff and patients of atrial fibrillation complicating embolism,do a good job of educating patients,to reduce the incidence of embolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective:To compare the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)on pulmonary transplantation(LTx)in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)complicated with pulmonary hypertension(PH).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2020, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 112 IPF patients complicated with PH undergoing LTx assisted by venous ECMO(VV-ECMO group, n=68)or venous arterial ECMO(VA-ECMO group, n=44). Gender, age, mechanical ventilation time, oxygenation index, cold ischemic time, preoperative gender, age, smoking history, PO 2, PCO 2, PH degree, NYHA cardiac function grade, right cardiac function, ejection fraction(EF)and complications(hypertension & diabetes)of two groups were compared. Intraoperative approach, operative duration, ECMO transfer time, blood loss, blood transfusion, urine volume, postoperative blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time, re-thoracotomy, pulmonary infection, primary graft dysfunction(PGD)and renal insufficiency were recorded. And the effects of two different diversion modes on early postoperative complications and short-term outcomes of LTx were further analyzed by multiple factors. Cox proportional risk model was employed for comparing VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO flow patterns with factors related to recipient survival after transplantation. Results:The preoperative PO 2 of 58.3(51.3, 72.0)mmHg was significantly lower in VV-ECMO bypass group than that of 73.2(63.3, 96.8)mmHg in VA-ECMO group and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.006). Compared with VV-ECMO group, 24(54.5%), 15(34.1%)and 22(50.0%)had NYHA class Ⅲ, severe PH and preoperative right heart enlargement in VA-ECMO group respectively and the differences were statistically significant compared with 17(25.0%), 6(8.8%)and 16(23.5%)in VV-ECMO group( P<0.05 for all). No significant inter-group differences existed in postoperative PGD, postoperative mechanical ventilation time(≥3 d), pulmonary infection, postoperative thoracotomy ratio, postoperative renal insufficiency, ICU stay, hospital stay and other aspects( P>0.05). And 6-month postoperative survival rates of VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO groups were 80.9% and 61.4%, respectively and no significant inter-group difference existed in short-term survival rate(6 months)after adjustment by multivariate Cox regression model( P>0.05). Multivariate statistics indicated that the risk of delayed postoperative withdrawal was 14.452-fold higher in VV-ECMO group than in VA-ECMO group and the inter-group difference was statistically significant(95% CI: 2.448-85.323, P=0.03). Conclusions:No differences exist in postoperative complications or short-term survival rate between IPF recipients with mild PH on VV-ECMO mode and IPF recipients with severe PH on VA-ECMO mode. VV-ECMO flow reversal can delay the transplant back-off time.

Objective:To construct a recombinant bioluminescent bacteriophage (HT7) targeting Escherichia coli, and evaluate its ability to identify Escherichia coli. Methods:Initially, pCRISPR-sg (1-10) and PFN-1000 plasmid strains were constructed by genetic engineering, and the most efficient small guild RNA (sgRNA) were screened by bilayer plate. By the gene editing technique, which comprised homologous recombination and clustered regularly interspaced short palin dromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas system, the Nanoluc luciferase gene was integrated into the downstream non-coding region of 10A gene of T7 phage, to constructe the bioluminescent phage HT7 successfully. The difference of biological characteristics between HT7 phage and T7 phage was evaluated by plaque assay and liquid amplification assay. In addition, 51 strains of Escherichia coli, 20 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 14 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 6 strains of Enterococcus faecium, 5 strains of Enterococcus faecalis, 3 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and 1 strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected and isolated to evaluate the limit of detection and specificity of HT7 phage. Results:Among the 10 CRISPR-targeted cleavage systems constructed, sgRNA8 exhibited the highest cleavage efficiency, with a cleavage rate of 0.18. After three rounds of recombination screening using the pCas9/pCRISPR/PFN-1000 triple-plasmid system, PCR validation yielded recombinant phage bands at 2 798 bp, indicating the successful construction of the HT7 phage. The recombinant phage showed significant differences in biological characteristics in terms of lysis efficiency ( P<0.001), one-step growth curve ( P=0.001), and infection multiplicity ( P=0.031). Both lysis burst time and log growth node were extended by 10 min, with the optimal infection multiplicity being 0.1. Clinical sample testing identified lysis of 6 strains of Escherichia coli within 4.5 h, while other strains remained unaffected, with detection of pathogenic bacteria below 10 CFU/ml. Conclusions:The developed pCas9/pCRISPR/PFN-1000 triple-plasmid editing system efficiently edits the bacteriophage genome. The constructed HT7 fluorescent bacteriophage enables the detection of Escherichia coli below 10 CFU/ml within 4.5 hours, demonstrating low detection limits and high detection specificity.
